After winning the toss, SRH’s skipper decided to bat first, and their dangerous opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were on the crease, but this time, they weren’t able to terrorize the scoreboard as Mitchell Starc sent Travis Head back to the pavilion in the first over of the match and in the next over Abhishek Sharma departed on the score of 3. Rahul Tripathi counter-attacked on the bowlers and hit some boundaries, but Mitchell Starc departed two more batters to the pavilion from the other end. SRH were four down inside the powerplay. Rahul Tripathi and Heinrich Klaasen built a partnership for a short time. But Varun Chakravarthy took the wicket of Klaasen to send half of the SRH’s team back to the dugout. Rahul Tripathi scored fifty, and Pat Cummins hit a few boundaries to take the team’s total to 159/10 at the end of 20 overs.

Chasing 160 to qualify for the final, KKR got a decent start, with Suni Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz scoring quick runs powerplay for the team. Gurbaz, while trying to charge, got caught at covers, and soon Sunil Narine was also sent back to the dugout. It was Iyer’s duo again that scored the runs for the team; both batters didn’t give any chance to SRH’s bowlers to make a comeback and scored their fifties as KKR chased the total in 13.4 overs and won the match by 8 wickets.

IPL 2024 Qualifier 1 KKR vs SRH: Captains’ Corner

“We will try to put this behind quickly, good thing we will have a crack at it. You have those days in T20 cricket where things doesn’t quite work out. We weren’t where we wanted with the bat and obviously couldn’t do much with the ball, but it happens in cricket. Felt that extra batting was important (picking the impact sub) on this wicket. KKR bowled really well, there was a little bit in it early on and the surface got better. We all have played enough cricket, and going to a new venue (Chennai) helps us as well, so we will have to keep this behind and move on.”
Pat Cummins said Post-match

Elated by the performance, the responsibility was important, we stood for each other, extremely happy with the performances. The rejuvenation was important for us. Today was the day we had to maximize, we did it and that’s what we thrive on. I think the way every bowler stood up to this occasion, the way they came in and took wickets was outstanding. The attitude and approach of all bowlers was to take wickets and they did it. When you have a variety in the bowling line-up, it’s mesmerizing. (on the players) It was Gurbaz’s first game and he gave an impactful start. We had to make sure we carry forward the same run rate. (on communication with Venkatesh Iyer) I don’t know to speak Tamil, I understand. Venky speaks in tamil, I reply in hindi. We need to be in our zone in the final and make sure we give our best.
